Creating my own Email Application

[maboo]

Hello,
I am looking to create my own Email Application, similar to hotmail, webmail,etc. I have the email server, and want to be able to customize the email app so I can place it within a current website.
Can anyone tell me how these sites do it?
Can it get the emails off of my current server?
If anyone has any ideas or directions I can go in, thanks for the help

you using ASP?
if so try to look for MAPI functions(same as Outlook does)
or seek for some component who does that.

Yes, I am using ASP.
Can I use those MAPI functions in my ASP code, or will I need to make some dll's?
